This white supremacist, born in apartheid South Africa & living in a country founded on slave ownership & genocide of Native Americans, is giving India, the world’s oldest continuing civilisation, lectures on morality?
2018 was near peak mansplaining by anti-RE folks why solar, wind and batteries would not add up to much.
EIA in 2018 projected that in 2050:
large solar would be ~170 GW;
wind ~140 GW;
batteries 40 GW.
In July 2026,
large solar was 171 GW;
wind 166 GW;
batteries 53 GW
The Modi govt follows the principle of constant reform to safeguard the future of our new generation. PM Shri @narendramodi Ji has constituted the High-powered task force under the leadership of Shri Nandan Nilekani as a part of the Modi govt's commitment to comprehensive examination reforms. The task force will ensure that no one can ever breach the sanctity of our examination system.
We will impose exemplary punishment on the culprits of paper leak and ensure that no one ever dares to commit this crime.
There is a massive renaissance going on in Indian manufacturing but then you look at benchmarks and deduce that Indian equity markets are not doing well.
I have written many times and although electronics manufacturing numbers were there for everybody to see .. have a look below.
Indian benchmarks are made of consumption and IT companies (not GCC) and they are winners of yesterday.
There is one more reason you don’t see this transition… the profit pool and digital footprint of “yesterday”s winners” is so large and the nascent winners profit pool is so low that you can easily miss this structural shift.
China is a $10000 per capita economy and hence it is vacating the jobs of $3000 per capita GDP economy… it is that simple. India also has added advantage of a large domestic economy with low electricity and labour costs.
Oh .. one more thing.. if you are a wealth manager, get out of metros and your comfort zone go into smaller towns where this nascent renaissance is taking place to catch this new profit pool.
Mesopotamia was never the cradle of civilisation. India was.
I spent forty years in international shipping, not academia. When I began researching the history of maritime trade, I had no orthodoxy to defend. I followed the evidence, and it kept arriving in the same place: the Indian subcontinent.
Nineteenth century archaeologists dug in Mesopotamia because the climate preserved artefacts, the biblical sources pointed them there, and the Ottomans allowed the excavations. That is the entire basis for the myth of Mesopotamia as "the cradle of civilisation."
Nobody applied the same rigour to India. Mohenjo-daro was not discovered until 1922. By then the narrative had already hardened.
What was actually there was the largest civilisation of the ancient world. Three hundred cities. Fifty thousand people in each, by 2600 BC. Two thirds of them stood on the banks of the Sarasvati, the central and greatest of the seven rivers described in the Rig Veda, flowing down from the Himalayas before the river vanished entirely by 1900 BC. The Vedic kings claimed territory stretching "sea to sea," from Afghanistan to Maharashtra, some 1.5 million square miles, against Egypt's 13,000. A dock at Lothal built to handle thirty ships of sixty tons, unmatched in Europe for four thousand years. When it was first excavated, it was recorded as a bathing pool.
When the scale became impossible to dismiss, the theory was not corrected. It was replaced with a story of pale-skinned nomads from the steppe who supposedly arrived around 1500 BC and brought civilisation with them. There is no evidence. The chronology doesn't work. The Vedas describe no invasion.
In 2019 a Harvard-led genetic study revived the claim, and the press reported it as confirmation. It was not. The same study found the builders of these cities were indigenous. The Sarasvati river that the Rig Veda described had already dried up before these newcomers arrived. What the study also found is that a small group of men, arriving after the Sarasvati had already dried up, interbred with the existing population and left a genetic signature. That is all.
So, where they chose to dig was mostly an accident of climate and access. The Aryan invasion theory was constructed because an Indian civilisation that owed nothing to Caucasians was a fact the late nineteenth century could not accommodate.

@sabeer Bhai Sabeer, ek sujhav hai: I fully support your anti Andh Bhakt-ism drive.
But to do that, you must relocate to Roadless, and do a grassroots, Kamraaj Plan type thingy.
